"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"It is very easy to implement."
"Quick recovery."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"Agnostic backups."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"The technical support was very slow."
